Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Sawtelle

Customers from Sawtelle usually plan their visit to DJ Custom Audio: the South Gate store is about 21.1 road miles away, roughly 32 minutes when traffic cooperates. Calling ahead at (323) 944-7844 means your gear or install slot is ready when you arrive. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Sawtelle customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Sawtelle 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

Sawtelle drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. 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. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

Sawtelle DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include DJ controllers, subwoofers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), turntables and media players, powered speakers and fog, haze and bubble effects, along with amps and processing, microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories, mixers and cases and stands. You will see Technical Pro, Shure, Mackie, ADJ and JBL on the shelves, plus Chauvet, RCF, Pioneer DJ, QSC and Electro-Voice. A DJ from Sawtelle upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a starter DJ setup, a church or venue PA and a backyard party PA are popular picks. 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.

DJ Custom Audio is about 21.1 miles from Sawtelle by road (16.5 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Sawtelle. Without traffic the drive takes about 32 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Sawtelle customers shop in person with us. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar. 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.
