Abstract: An electrical package, such as a stereo for an automobile comprises a chassis and one or more subassemblies adapted to mate with the chassis. One or more flanges extend from the chassis and each subassembly includes one or more edges each adapted to be securely held in place by one or more of the flanges. Preferably, the flanges and the edges are adapted to mate in sliding engagement with one another. Thus, the electrical package can be assembled without the use of threaded fasteners.
