Pairing a cabinet with a head

I just wanted to give an update as to what i decided. I went with the 115 300w at 4 ohms paired with an Aguilar Tone Hammer 350. Im so happy with it! I do have a question though, after only about 20 minutes of playing the cooling fan comes on in the head. Is that normal? Im only at practice level volumes.

Congrats, sounds like a great rig. But keep in mind, if you add another cab the ohm rating will be less than 4 ohms and possibly damage your amp.

I don't have any experience with that particular head, but I wouldn't be worried. Cooling fans in most all applications (electronic, automotive, etc) typically come on well before overheating occurs. Yours is just doing its thing.
