Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Sylmar

From Sylmar, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, DJ Custom Audio is about 35.3 miles away by car (plan on 46 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. We do not have a branch in Sylmar and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Sylmar customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

As a Los Angeles neighborhood, Sylmar sits in one of the busiest driving areas in Southern California, where a good sound system makes long drives easier. Coming from the San Fernando Valley & Verdugos area, you head southeast to reach us.

Car audio

Sylmar drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly. 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. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

Sylmar DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. On the floor you will find amps and processing, subwoofers, fog, haze and bubble effects, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cases and stands, powered speakers and turntables and media players, plus cables and accessories, mixers, microphones and wireless systems and DJ controllers. You will see Electro-Voice, ADJ, Chauvet, Shure and Mackie on the shelves, plus RCF, Technical Pro, QSC, JBL and Pioneer DJ. A DJ from Sylmar 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 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.

Without traffic the drive takes about 46 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave.

You will end up at Atlantic Avenue and Firestone Boulevard. Pull into the lot next to the 7-Eleven at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280; parking is on site, and there is a shopping center across the street.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Sylmar 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 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. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar.
