There isn't a simple answer here. Notice the heroic cabinet designs on super costly speakers. And often these have minor and sometimes not so minor resonances.

A wrap can help. But I would use a glue that never quite sets; that never quite gets totally hard. Then with two cabinet layers you get constrained layer damping. The minor movement of the glue and outer layer turns some of the vibration(resonance) into heat(very low level) and that resonance doesn't reach the listening environment. This is an old concept. The 1st time I heard about it was some of the IMF Monitors of the 70s. The outside layer was Formica attached with non-hardening glue. I bet there's earlier examples.

Anyway there's no way to get rid of all(almost all?) cabinet resonance without lots of money AND good design.
