Is it worth to swap channels after speaker upgrade on the front?

I just upgraded front speakers on my R56 boost cd to DB drive S9 components system. I wired input signal from lower woofer connector to the crossover and overall sound pretty good.

I've been reading the thread about channel swap but not sure if it still worth it to do so. I'm not running amp nor upgrade rear speakers.

I also have another question, I thought I could just use my new front speakers exclusively but front woofers won't get much bass if I set fader all the way to the front, is that normal? Tweeters still works fine but system will sound very thin due to lack of mid/bass, back off the fader closer to neutral sounds much fuller.

Any input?

Thanks in advance.

No reply. Alright, I kind found the answer to the question. I swapped out DB Drive for JL C2-600 and faded +11 to front and sound much nicer. Also ordered C2-690X for rear channel and will feed them with Alpine MRX-F35. From I've been reading I will use front channel exclusively for input. I'm sure it will sound good.
