Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Sherman Oaks

From Sherman Oaks, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, DJ Custom Audio is about 26.2 miles away by car (plan on 36 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. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Sherman Oaks customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Sherman Oaks 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 San Fernando Valley & Verdugos area, you head southeast to reach us.

Car audio

Here is what Sherman Oaks drivers usually ask us for. The work includes 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; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; and GPS and lighting, to round out the build. 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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Sherman Oaks, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find amps and processing, microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories, turntables and media players, fog, haze and bubble effects, powered speakers and cases and stands, plus subwoofers, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and DJ controllers. Brands we carry include Technical Pro, Shure, Mackie, Chauvet, JBL, QSC, RCF, ADJ, Pioneer DJ and Electro-Voice. A DJ from Sherman Oaks 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 quinceañera or wedding party system, a church or venue PA 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.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 26.2 miles from Sherman Oaks by road (20.5 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Sherman Oaks. Without traffic the drive takes about 36 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Sherman Oaks uses US-101 (Ventura Freeway), I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

Look for the corner of Atlantic and Firestone. We are next to the 7-Eleven at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, with parking on site and a shopping center across the street if you want to wait nearby during an install.

Why make the drive

Why drive in from Sherman Oaks instead of ordering online? You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call.
