Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Watts

Searching for a car stereo shop or DJ equipment store near Watts? DJ Custom Audio is about 4.8 miles away by car at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, roughly a 9-minute drive without heavy traffic. We do not have a branch in Watts and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Watts customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

Plenty of our customers come from Watts and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. Watts is in the Central & South Los Angeles area; our shop is east of Watts.

Car audio

Here is what Watts drivers usually ask us for. The work includes GPS and lighting, to round out the build; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; and alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days. The drive is short enough that most install customers wait at the shop or run errands nearby.

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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Watts, we sell the equipment to do it. Categories include fog, haze and bubble effects, cables and accessories, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), powered speakers, DJ controllers and microphones and wireless systems, along with mixers, turntables and media players, amps and processing, subwoofers and cases and stands. Our DJ and pro audio lines are JBL, RCF, QSC, Pioneer DJ, Shure, ADJ, Technical Pro, Electro-Voice, Mackie and Chauvet. 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.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a backyard party PA, a church or venue PA or a DJ lighting kit, 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.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 4.8 miles from Watts by road (3.5 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Watts. Without traffic the drive takes about 9 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The quickest route from Watts stays on surface streets, mainly South Alameda Street and Firestone Boulevard.

Look for the corner of Atlantic and Firestone. We are next to the 7-Eleven at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, with parking on site and a shopping center across the street if you want to wait nearby during an install.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Watts customers shop in person with us. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
