Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near North Long Beach

DJ Custom Audio is not in North Long Beach, but it is close: about 7.7 driving miles north of North Long Beach (about 12 minutes without traffic), at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. We do not have a branch in North Long Beach and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer North Long Beach customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

North Long Beach is part of Long Beach, and like most Long Beach neighborhoods it runs on driving, so what you hear in the car matters. On a map, North Long Beach falls in the Gateway Cities (Southeast LA County) part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is north of it.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and North Long Beach drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. The drive is short enough that most install customers wait at the shop or run errands nearby.

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

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of North Long Beach buyers come for it. Categories include amps and processing, powered speakers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), subwoofers, turntables and media players and DJ controllers, along with cables and accessories, fog, haze and bubble effects, mixers, cases and stands and microphones and wireless systems. You will see RCF, Mackie, Technical Pro, Electro-Voice and ADJ on the shelves, plus Shure, QSC, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet and JBL. Common North Long Beach requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Packages save guesswork. A DJ lighting kit and a church or venue PA 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.

You will end up at Atlantic Avenue and Firestone Boulevard. Pull into the lot next to the 7-Eleven at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280; parking is on site, and there is a shopping center across the street.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons North Long Beach customers shop in person with us. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side.
