Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Walnut

Customers from Walnut usually plan their visit to DJ Custom Audio: the South Gate store is about 28.1 road miles away, roughly 40 minutes when traffic cooperates. Calling ahead at (323) 944-7844 means your gear or install slot is ready when you arrive. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Walnut. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Walnut is its own incorporated city in Los Angeles County, and its drivers know the routine: long commutes, freeway noise and a factory stereo that was never great to begin with. Walnut is in the San Gabriel Valley area; our shop is west of Walnut.

Car audio

If you drive in Walnut, 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 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. 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 Walnut buyers come for it. Categories include turntables and media players, cases and stands, amps and processing, powered speakers, DJ controllers and cables and accessories, along with subwoofers, fog, haze and bubble effects, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and microphones and wireless systems. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Electro-Voice, JBL, Chauvet, Shure, Pioneer DJ, Technical Pro, Mackie, RCF, ADJ and QSC. Common Walnut requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a starter DJ setup, a quinceañera or wedding party system or a backyard party PA, so you walk out with gear that 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.

Why make the drive

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