The Gladiator Series products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in 
any other product. All of the amplifiers have variable crossovers built in, with added touches such as subsonic 
filter, bass equalization and an HFR-3 remote control module for the monoblocks that allows overall Level control 
from reach of the drivers seat.

To insure years of listening pleasure, all amplifiers have a built in diagnostic mode that will detect shorted speaker 
leads, low impedance, dangerous high temperatures, DC shorts and will shut down the amp to help prevent 
damage.
