Clockwork Creep

I have a matrix gt1000FX and a real Zilla fatboy 2x12 cab.
The goal here is to make the Axe sound and feel exactly like the real amp would through that cab. Not just an approximation.
I consider the Speaker page to be probably the most important set of settings to reach this authenticity. It does make a huge difference on feel and tone.
I did read the wiki, but there are still some things I'm not sure about.
1) Resonant frequencies. Let's say, i keep the same cab, but only switch the Amp model. Let's say i got the resonant frequency values set for amp "A" to give authentic results on that cab. When I switch to amp "B", do the same resonant frequency values give authentic results for Amp "B" too? Do I have to adjust the resonant frequencies for each amp model differently?
2) How do I set these values to be authentic in the first place? The best I could do is go by ear, but how would I know if they're right without a reference? Is there an objective way to set this 100 % right? I read that to find the low end, you have to use the filter block and just find at which frequency, the cab is loudest or something like that. Can someone explain this in higher detail? What about the amplitude/Q/Slope of the resonance? What about the high end?
3) Xformer settings. Are these settings Cab dependant too? Or are they static, set to authentic values for the particular amp model by default? How do I set these to authentic values for a particular cab used?
Thanks.
