To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Montecito Heights customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Car audio

Montecito Heights 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; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days. 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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Montecito Heights, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find cases and stands, subwoofers, turntables and media players, powered speakers, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and amps and processing, plus cables and accessories, fog, haze and bubble effects, DJ controllers and microphones and wireless systems. Brands we carry include Electro-Voice, JBL, Chauvet, RCF, ADJ, Shure, Mackie, QSC, Technical Pro and Pioneer DJ. Whether the goal is a first DJ rig or a full PA for a venue, we can match speakers, mixer and mics to the room size.

Packages save guesswork. A church or venue PA and a DJ lighting kit are two we build often, matched so every piece works together. Everything here is for sale: no rentals, no DJs for hire, and no DJ equipment repair. Joe will help you set up your gear and get Serato running before you leave.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 12.6 miles from Montecito Heights by road (9.5 miles in a straight line), and the shop is south of Montecito Heights. Without traffic the drive takes about 21 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Montecito Heights uses I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as North Eastern Avenue and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

The last stretch brings you to Atlantic Avenue at Firestone Boulevard in South Gate. The shop is at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, next to the 7-Eleven. Parking is on site, and a shopping center sits across the street, so you can grab food while an install is underway.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Montecito Heights customers shop in person with us. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
