Car audio

Mid-Wilshire drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; and GPS and lighting, to round out the build. For customers coming this far, we suggest calling ahead so the install bay is ready when you arrive.

We're an authorized JL Audio and Alpine dealer, and we also carry Kicker, Focal and Pioneer. A lot of installs get done the same day. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Mid-Wilshire, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find cases and stands, microphones and wireless systems, subwoofers, cables and accessories, turntables and media players, DJ controllers and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), plus fog, haze and bubble effects, mixers, powered speakers and amps and processing. You will see Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, ADJ, Mackie and Electro-Voice on the shelves, plus JBL, QSC, Technical Pro, RCF and Shure.
