Well....you will increase the load by 50%.
So you will lose the power.
I think it will work ok, but the volume will go down and the full power won't be achieved. It will also move the working point of the amp so it is possible that the clipping will occur before achieving the full power.

Good news - it should work and it shouldn't blow up Icon_smile
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
