It will handle about the same amount of power as a typical inexpensive dome tweeter - about 5 watts. System power of 75 watts is about right.
I didn't know they were still making that thing. It's been around since the 70's.

As long as it works it's all good lol. As the power is a lot less than the other drivers, will the crossover change the amount of watts going to the tweeter?
I know it isn't, but it looks just like some Piezos 😀
The www says 35 watts RMS/50 watts max ?
The crossover frequency & slope WILL change the amount of power going to the tweeter.

Those tweeters fit in the same hole as the old KSN1005. Coincidence? Probably not. You keep blowing out the tweeter so you give up and replace it with a piezo.
What normally gets to the tweeter thru the crossover is only a few watts. Provided you don't start out with 200. A PL400 cranked to distortion will take 'em out in about 2 minutes. With your typical AVR, it will be a race to see who goes first. The tweeter's VC or the thermal protect on the amp. If you are matching these up with typical 'home stereo' components you'll need to pad it down or the high end will be way too hot. That works in your favor power handling wise.
