How about just building yourself an isolation cab?

i was thinking about an isolation cab
but my room is very small
so i won't have place to add another cabinet

maybe i could build a cabinet to replace one of my mesa cab
that's a good idea

but

i heard that some times isolation cabinet can damage speaker

is that true?
