  If you're experiencing no or low audio output from your Clarion Car Receiver, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the audio output connections are properly wired. Also, verify that the volume isn't set too low and increase it as needed. Check your speaker condition and replace them if damaged. Make sure the channel balance isn't heavily biased to one side by adjusting it to the center. Lastly, confirm that speaker wiring isn't in contact with any metal parts of the car; if it is, insulate the connections.
