Doug, It's not bi-amped, which doesn't help. It is probably clipping the bass. You may be able to minimise it by turning the line volume down and the master volume up, or vice versa - give it a try. But if it sounds ok, I wouldn't worry too much. It is possible that you could blow up the tweeter, but if that is the case I would have thought you would be cringing at the distortion. My PA clips on bass kicks sometimes (15" bi-amped with 200W on the bass, 100W on the treble) and it sounds fine and never blown up. I think if you want some serious volume you need to spend serious money to get some decent power. My drum teacher uses a couple of 1000W PAs on his electronic drum kit. Keith.
