Valinda customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Valinda drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and GPS and lighting, to round out the build. 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. 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 Valinda buyers come for it. We stock cases and stands, amps and processing, DJ controllers, subwoofers, fog, haze and bubble effects, turntables and media players, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and cables and accessories, and powered speakers, microphones and wireless systems and mixers. Brands we carry include Mackie, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, Electro-Voice, QSC, Shure, ADJ, JBL, RCF and Technical Pro. A DJ from Valinda upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

Packages save guesswork. A quinceañera or wedding party system and a church or venue PA 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.
