Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Northridge

From Northridge, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, DJ Custom Audio is about 36.0 miles away by car (plan on 50 minutes or more depending on traffic). That is a real drive, so this page lays out exactly what is worth the trip and how to get here. We do not have a branch in Northridge and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Northridge customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

Plenty of our customers come from Northridge and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. Northridge is in the San Fernando Valley & Verdugos area; our shop is southeast of Northridge.

Car audio

Northridge drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. From this distance, most customers book installs ahead of time so the car goes straight into the bay.

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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. 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 Northridge, we sell the equipment to do it. We stock turntables and media players, cases and stands, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers, cables and accessories, subwoofers and microphones and wireless systems, and fog, haze and bubble effects, powered speakers and amps and processing. Brands we carry include Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, Electro-Voice, JBL, Mackie, Technical Pro, ADJ, Shure, RCF and QSC. Common Northridge requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a quinceañera or wedding party system, a church or venue PA or a starter DJ setup, so you walk out with gear that works together. We sell DJ gear only: 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 36.0 miles from Northridge by road (28.1 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Northridge. Without traffic the drive takes about 50 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Northridge uses I-405 (San Diego Freeway), US-101 (Ventura Freeway) and I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway), then surface streets such as Roscoe Boulevard 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 Northridge instead of ordering online? 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. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash.
