Excellent answers! Very few dome tweeters will handle even 100 watts for a sustained period. The leads usually fail so the tweeter is not burned out but mechanically failed. Try a tweeter with tensile weave leads ( Vifa )if you are going to play them loud. Use a tweeter rated for 100 watts and you may be OK with two. A 400 watt amp is twice as loud as a 40 watt amp so yes you did likely clip the amp.
