Car audio

If you drive in Whittier, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; 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 head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount. For customers coming this far, we suggest calling ahead so the install bay is ready when you arrive.

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. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

Whittier DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects, cases and stands, amps and processing, turntables and media players and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), along with powered speakers, microphones and wireless systems, subwoofers, mixers and cables and accessories. You will see QSC, Mackie, Shure, Pioneer DJ and RCF on the shelves, plus Electro-Voice, Chauvet, Technical Pro, JBL and ADJ. Common Whittier requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Packages save guesswork. A starter DJ setup and a DJ lighting kit are two we build often, matched so every piece works together. We sell DJ gear only: 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.
