James,

You are kidding, right?  Is it April fools yet?  12.6V/.25 ohms = 50.4 amps,
or 635W.  Did you mean 10 ohms? (63.5W, nah)  Did you mean 100 ohm resistors?
(6.35W, maybe).  Whatever the value or power drawn, lets not forget to make
sure that the transformer can supply this additional load without exceeding
its rating, making it run hot, etc...

On a hunch I looked at the Shadio Rack site, and yep, you mean 1 ohm.  What
gives?  Maybe you mean .25 ohm in series?
