Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Temple City

If you are in the city of Temple City and want car audio or DJ and pro audio gear from a shop that lets you listen first, DJ Custom Audio is about 17.7 miles away at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Plan on roughly 24 minutes when the freeways are moving. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Temple City. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Temple City is a city in Los Angeles County where a lot of people live in their cars between work, school and family, so audio upgrades get real use. On a map, Temple City falls in the San Gabriel Valley part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is southwest of it.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Temple City drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; 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; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; and amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly. 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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Temple City buyers come for it. On the floor you will find powered speakers, cases and stands, microphones and wireless systems, mixers, subwoofers, amps and processing and DJ controllers, plus fog, haze and bubble effects, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cables and accessories and turntables and media players. Our DJ and pro audio lines are ADJ, JBL, Shure, Technical Pro, Electro-Voice, QSC, Mackie, RCF, Chauvet and Pioneer DJ. A DJ from Temple City 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 backyard party PA, a church or venue PA and a DJ lighting kit are popular picks. 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 17.7 miles from Temple City by road (12.6 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southwest of Temple City. Without traffic the drive takes about 24 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Temple City uses I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as Temple City Boulevard and 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

There are good reasons Temple City customers shop in person with us. 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 reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side.
