At 350 watts maybe you got lucky and blew a capacitor on the crossover board.

Either way you need to open the speaker up and check out the crossover board and drivers with a meter.

Pull the drivers and use a meter. If you don't have one go buy a cheap one at Radio Shack or Home Depot. Set to continuity or resistance. You should get a reading. If it's blow you will get no reading. But then again it should smell burnt and have that coil rub mentioned above.

Next start checking the crossover. But to do that you will have to lift one leg of the capacitors and resistors to check them. Look for discolorations and malformations on the components. Don't worry about the coils.
