Plan on roughly 27 minutes when the freeways are moving. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280.

Car audio

Here is what North El Monte drivers usually ask us for. 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; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; 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. 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

North El Monte DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. On the floor you will find powered speakers, cables and accessories, cases and stands, DJ controllers, turntables and media players, amps and processing and fog, haze and bubble effects, plus subwoofers, microphones and wireless systems, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and mixers. Brands we carry include QSC, Shure, JBL, Pioneer DJ, Mackie, ADJ, Electro-Voice, Technical Pro, Chauvet and RCF. Common North El Monte requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a church or venue PA, a quinceañera or wedding party system and a starter DJ setup are popular picks. To be clear, this is gear sales: no rentals, no DJs for hire, and no DJ equipment repair. Ask Joe on the DJ side about setup and software like Serato; he works with this gear himself.
