One of four (4) 750 ohm 5w ceramic resistors in a subwoofer's power amp section seems to be open. I want to replace it with a compatible ceramic resistor.
Questions:
Will the 10W one generate more heat?
Is it OK to mix one 10W resistor with three (existing) 5W resistors? (All 750 ohms and 5% tolerance.)
[They are in the immediate proximity of transistors]

I think I was overlooking the importance of derating factors operating temperature range differences when resistors are used in audio amplifiers because audio amplifiers can get hot.
