Carver Sunfi re type of subwoofers will not work properly when connected to the Trio’s outputs. This
is because the C-100 is a balanced type of output with a DC voltage as referenced to ground.
If the C-100 shuts off when playing music, there are several possibilities. If the music plays quite loudly
but shuts off on the most explosive parts of the music of video soundtrack, then the C-100 Amplifi er is
probably underrated for the type of speaker you are using. See your dealer or call PS Audio for advice
on going to the next size power amplifi er.
If the amplifi er shuts down with very little volume, then check the speaker cable connections. The Trio
can actually play music at low levels even into a near short on its outputs. Chances are good that you
have a shorted connector (plus touching the minus) and you should simply check carefully on the back
of the speaker and the back of the amplifi er.
