Lots of "custom" boxes coated with Duratex out there and this is the first time I've heard of any resonance problems with it. |

There's an obvious resonance issue going on that needs to be dealt with and no amount of velcro or rat fur is gonna change that
I feel bad for the OP...hope he gets his problem sorted quickly |

Treat the problem, not the symptom.

| There... I fixed it for ya! 
Let's be fair, everyone makes mistakes, entropy happens - but have you ever seen anything remotely approaching the phenomena described by the OP? Video of the dancing SVT [with Benny Hill theme soundtrack] and interior shots of the cab are a must at this point.
PS: The velcro / drawer liner suggestions are hilarious - keep em coming! How about 2" eyebolts in the floor and some cargo straps?  |

If the cab is vibrating that badly, it's probably loose bracing or a lack of bracing, which should be addressed...not only will the SVT stop trying to plummet to it's death, but the cab will most likely sound way better. I'd rather see the OP have the best sounding solution to his problem and either he or his builder could solve the problem in an hour or less with a tiny bit of bracing and some glue.
I hope these little fake rants are taken in the spirit in which they are intended...just being silly to make a point  |

But not because anything vibrates.
Just because it makes it way easier to move that damn tower around the stage .
