Sure.

Only advantage that comes to mind is rear passenger music quality. I
personally wouldn't worry about it. The only other person who should
be enjoying the music besides yourself should be the broad next to you
sitting in the passenger seat.

A custom tuned box always can sound better but nothing wrong with the
pre-fabs you mentioned, as I heard all of those in a mustang. The JL
Stealth probably sounding the best followed by the MTX Thunderform.
