The answer is V=RI, where v is the voltage, R is the resistance (in Ohms), and I is the current, in amps.
If you lower the resistance, and because the voltage remains constant (it's how the volume is set), then you just doubled the amps.
P=VI
Power (in Watts) = Voltage * Amperage.
So if you double the amperage, you just doubled the power drawn from the amp.
