It would probably work, but when you turn it up, the amp would heat up, and possibly blow fuses or the output transistors/chips.

My friend did that with a mini-hifi system. When he turned it up, all the lights on it would dim. It worked for a while, but he ended up blowing the fuses.

If you keep the volume low it will work, but it won't be loud enough so yeah, don't do it!
