Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near South Whittier

For drivers and DJs in South Whittier, an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, the nearest place to hear gear before you buy it may be our South Gate store. It is about 10.0 miles by road, around 18 minutes in normal conditions. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in South Whittier. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Because South Whittier is unincorporated Los Angeles County territory, many locals already head into neighboring cities for specialty shopping, and South Gate is an easy stop. Coming from the Gateway Cities (Southeast LA County) area, you head west to reach us.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and South Whittier drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. 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. 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

South Whittier DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. We stock powered speakers, amps and processing, microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories, cases and stands, fog, haze and bubble effects, subwoofers and turntables and media players, and DJ controllers, mixers and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers). You will see Electro-Voice, JBL, Technical Pro, Pioneer DJ and Mackie on the shelves, plus Shure, Chauvet, QSC, ADJ and RCF. Whether the goal is a first DJ rig or a full PA for a venue, we can match speakers, mixer and mics to the room size.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a DJ lighting kit, a backyard party PA and a quinceañera or wedding party system are popular picks. Everything here is for sale: 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.

Why make the drive

Why drive in from South Whittier instead of ordering online? You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. 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. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash.
