We have seen this to be a stereo or amplifier problem in most cases. However, the stereo and amplifier communicate with each other. Try disconnecting the car battery for several minutes then reconnect, this may reset the audio system.

Low audio? Check all functions, AM, FM, Cass, and CD. Do all functions have the same volume level? If AM and FM are low in comparison, this is a stereo problem. If all functions have no volume, this is likely an amplifier problem.

We have seen very few of these amplifiers in shop in need of repair. Most times it is water damage because the passenger window is left down, this amplifier sits under the passenger seat. If this amplifier goes out, remove immediately. Remove the covers from the amplifier and take your hair dryer to the circuit boards. There is a good chance you will bring it back to life. Check the connections for water damage too.
