Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Upland

Upland is on the outer edge of the area we serve, about 39.1 miles from our shop at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, and roughly 51 minutes without traffic. People still make the drive when they want DJ and pro audio equipment they can hear before buying, or a car audio install done by a team that has been at it since 2012. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Upland customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

As an incorporated city in San Bernardino County, Upland has plenty of daily drivers who put serious hours behind the wheel, which is exactly when better sound pays off. On a map, Upland falls in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino County) part of San Bernardino County, and South Gate is west of it.

Car audio

Upland drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes GPS and lighting, to round out the build; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; 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; and backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road. 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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. 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

Upland DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include powered speakers, DJ controllers, microphones and wireless systems, cases and stands, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and amps and processing, along with turntables and media players, cables and accessories, fog, haze and bubble effects, subwoofers and mixers. Brands we carry include RCF, Electro-Voice, Pioneer DJ, Mackie, JBL, Chauvet, Shure, QSC, Technical Pro and ADJ. 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 church or venue PA and a starter DJ setup are two we build often, matched so every piece works together. We sell DJ gear only: 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 39.1 miles from Upland by road (32.0 miles in a straight line), and the shop is west of Upland. Without traffic the drive takes about 51 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Upland uses I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway) and I-605 (San Gabriel River Freeway), then surface streets such as North Mountain Avenue and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

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

Is the trip from Upland worth it? Here is why most customers say yes. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. 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.
