Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near University Park

From University Park, our South Gate store is about 10.7 miles by road, roughly 18 minutes in light traffic. It is one counter, one address (8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280), and a team that does both car audio and DJ equipment. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in University Park. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Plenty of our customers come from University Park and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. On a map, University Park falls in the Central & South Los Angeles part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is southeast of it.

Car audio

If you drive in University Park, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. 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

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

Packages save guesswork. A backyard party PA and a quinceañera or wedding party system are two we build often, matched so every piece 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.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 10.7 miles from University Park by road (7.7 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of University Park. Without traffic the drive takes about 18 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from University Park uses I-110 (Harbor Freeway), then surface streets such as West Manchester Avenue 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

Why drive in from University Park instead of ordering online? 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 reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash.
