The shop
DV Audio & Customs is a custom car audio shop in Escondido, founded in 2016 by Dennis Venegas, building custom car audio, lighting, and electronics the right way.
Everything is built in-house, from enclosures to speaker adapters cut to fit the vehicle. That control over every piece is why the work holds up, whether it’s a radio and camera install or a high-end off-road, classic-car, or marine build.

Common questions
Straight answers on installations, timing, financing, and what makes the shop different.
Do you install Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in classic and older cars?
Yes, adding wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to classics and older vehicles is one of our specialties. We integrate it cleanly so it fits the car. Call us with your year, make, and model for a quote.
How much does a custom build cost?
It depends on the vehicle. A 2024 model and a 2000 model don't take the same parts, time, or work, so we quote every job to the specific car. Tell us the vehicle and what you want, and we'll give you a straight number.
Do you work on boats and off-road vehicles?
Yes. We build marine and boat audio, plus off-road and overland audio, lighting, and electrical, all done in-house and built to handle water, dust, and vibration.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer financing through Snap Finance, with quick approval. Ask about it when you get your quote.
How long does an installation take?
For smaller installations, ask about 1–2 day turnaround. Timing depends on your vehicle, parts availability, installation scope, and the shop’s schedule. Bigger custom projects take longer and can be done in stages so your vehicle isn’t tied up for weeks. Ask about timing when you request a quote.
What makes DV Audio different from a big-box installer?
Everything is designed and built in-house by the owner, tailored to your specific vehicle, not pulled off a shelf and rushed. We've been doing custom car audio and electronics work in Escondido since 2016 and stand behind it.
