The biggest problem is usually the "gain stages"(IC:s, Transistors).
In this particular circuit you would probably need to switch some resistors to get the proper voltages on Collector and Base. If you dont you would likely destroy the transistors, or the circuit wouldnt work as it should.
I don't try my circuits with 18V unless it says they can handle it.
