You guys are doing it wrong..
You need a tight polar pattern dynamic mic for starters.

I have found when you have an iso-cab such as the Grendal piece of crap that I had many years ago, it would sound boxy no matter what speaker I put in there. When I went to a friends place, he has what Steve has....which is an iso-box. I found with the full 4x12 cab inside that box that it sounded much better and didn't have the issues that the cab had. While the principle of the boxes are similar, I have found that the sounds are different.

iso cabs are sealed, therefore they cannot sound good. speakers can't reach full xmax and voice coils overheat.
silent sister is the only ported iso, though still not great.
tons of other factors involved as well.

I wanted to get/build an isobox for a while so I can record at home. This morning I realized the closest where I do all my recording has a perfect little spot for my 2x12. I popped it in, threw a mic on it, wrapped a piece of plywood in an old packing blanket, and shut the closet door. I didn't crank my Mesa, but did turn it up louder than normal and it was very reasonably quiet.
The mic placement needs some tweaking since it's a little too dark and chuggy on the palm mutes, but with some EQ and a touch of compression in a mix it sounds pretty great to me.
I redid the heavy rhythm guitars in the link below this morning to give it a quick test. Not perfect, but usable IMO.
