Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near West Athens

DJ Custom Audio is not in West Athens, but it is close: about 9.8 driving miles east of West Athens (about 16 minutes without traffic), at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. We do not have a branch in West Athens and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer West Athens customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

West Athens is an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County; our customers from there tell us the drive is simple once they know the route. Coming from the South Bay & South LA area, you head east to reach us.

Car audio

West Athens drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes 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; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. 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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in West Athens, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find turntables and media players, subwoofers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cables and accessories, powered speakers, mixers and microphones and wireless systems, plus DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects, cases and stands and amps and processing. You will see Pioneer DJ, QSC, RCF, Shure and Electro-Voice on the shelves, plus Mackie, JBL, ADJ, Chauvet and Technical Pro. A DJ from West Athens upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a DJ lighting kit, a backyard party PA and a church or venue PA are popular picks. We sell DJ gear only: 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.

Without traffic the drive takes about 16 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave.

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

Why drive in from West Athens instead of ordering online? You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash.
