Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Silver Lake

If you are in Silver Lake, a neighborhood of Los Angeles and want car audio or DJ and pro audio gear from a shop that lets you listen first, DJ Custom Audio is about 14.6 miles away at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Plan on roughly 22 minutes when the freeways are moving. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Silver Lake customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

As a Los Angeles neighborhood, Silver Lake sits in one of the busiest driving areas in Southern California, where a good sound system makes long drives easier. Coming from the Central & South Los Angeles area, you head southeast to reach us.

Car audio

Silver Lake drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; and full sound systems, planned around your car and budget. 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. 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

Silver Lake DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include cables and accessories, microphones and wireless systems, amps and processing, turntables and media players, cases and stands and fog, haze and bubble effects, along with lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), mixers, DJ controllers, powered speakers and subwoofers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, ADJ, JBL, Mackie, QSC, RCF, Electro-Voice, Technical Pro and Shure. Common Silver Lake 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 backyard party PA, a DJ lighting kit or a quinceañera or wedding party system, so you walk out with gear that works together. To be clear, this is gear sales: 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 14.6 miles from Silver Lake by road (10.7 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Silver Lake. Without traffic the drive takes about 22 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Silver Lake uses US-101 (Hollywood Freeway), I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as Benton Way 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

There are good reasons Silver Lake customers shop in person with us. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash.
