Car audio

If you drive in South Los Angeles, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes GPS and lighting, to round out the build; 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 backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road. The drive is short enough that most install customers wait at the shop or run errands nearby.

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

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of South Los Angeles buyers come for it. On the floor you will find DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects, turntables and media players, mixers, cables and accessories, subwoofers and amps and processing, plus lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), microphones and wireless systems, cases and stands and powered speakers. You will see ADJ, RCF, JBL, Shure and Technical Pro on the shelves, plus Electro-Voice, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, Mackie and QSC. Common South Los Angeles 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 starter DJ setup or a DJ lighting kit, 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.
