Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Palms

From Palms, our South Gate store is about 18.2 miles by road, roughly 28 minutes in light traffic. It is one counter, one address (8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280), and a team that does both car audio and DJ equipment. We do not have a branch in Palms and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Palms customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

Palms is part of Los Angeles, and like most Los Angeles neighborhoods it runs on driving, so what you hear in the car matters. Coming from the Westside area, you head east to reach us.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Palms drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes GPS and lighting, to round out the build; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; and amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly. 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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. 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 Palms, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find DJ controllers, amps and processing, microphones and wireless systems, powered speakers, cables and accessories, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and mixers, plus turntables and media players, subwoofers, fog, haze and bubble effects and cases and stands. Our DJ and pro audio lines are QSC, ADJ, Pioneer DJ, JBL, Shure, Chauvet, Mackie, RCF, Electro-Voice and Technical Pro. Common Palms 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 church or venue PA, a quinceañera or wedding party system or a backyard party PA, so you walk out with gear that 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 18.2 miles from Palms by road (14.0 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Palms. Without traffic the drive takes about 28 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Palms uses I-10 (Santa Monica Freeway), then surface streets such as South Alameda Street and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

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 Palms customers shop in person with us. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center.
