Mount Washington customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Mount Washington is part of Los Angeles, and like most Los Angeles neighborhoods it runs on driving, so what you hear in the car matters. Mount Washington is in the Central & South Los Angeles area; our shop is south of Mount Washington.

Car audio

Here is what Mount Washington drivers usually ask us for. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and full sound systems, planned around your car and budget. 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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Mount Washington buyers come for it. Categories include subwoofers, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), fog, haze and bubble effects, cases and stands and amps and processing, along with microphones and wireless systems, DJ controllers, cables and accessories, turntables and media players and powered speakers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Electro-Voice, Shure, ADJ, RCF, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, QSC, Technical Pro, Mackie and JBL. 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.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a church or venue PA, a quinceañera or wedding party system or a starter DJ setup, so you walk out with gear that works together. To be clear, this is gear sales: 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 14.0 miles from Mount Washington by road (10.3 miles in a straight line), and the shop is south of Mount Washington. Without traffic the drive takes about 23 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Mount Washington uses I-5 (Golden State Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as North Figueroa Street 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

Why drive in from Mount Washington instead of ordering online? 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 get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
