Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Van Nuys

Customers from Van Nuys usually plan their visit to DJ Custom Audio: the South Gate store is about 27.1 road miles away, roughly 39 minutes when traffic cooperates. Calling ahead at (323) 944-7844 means your gear or install slot is ready when you arrive. We do not have a branch in Van Nuys and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Van Nuys customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

Plenty of our customers come from Van Nuys and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. On a map, Van Nuys falls in the San Fernando Valley & Verdugos part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is southeast of it.

Car audio

Van Nuys drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; and full sound systems, planned around your car and budget. 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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

Van Nuys DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. We stock powered speakers, fog, haze and bubble effects, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers, microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories and turntables and media players, and amps and processing, cases and stands and subwoofers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Pioneer DJ, QSC, Mackie, Technical Pro, Chauvet, RCF, ADJ, Shure, JBL and Electro-Voice. 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 quinceañera or wedding party system and a backyard party PA are two we build often, matched so every piece works together. To be clear, this is gear sales: 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.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 27.1 miles from Van Nuys by road (22.2 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Van Nuys.

Why make the drive

Why drive in from Van Nuys instead of ordering online? 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 get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar.
