I've tried it on a Lovan shelf, with negligible benefit. I also tried it on a thick aluminum amplifier front panel, where it seemed to make things worse.
Dynamat X-treme is great for thinner metals, as it is designed to damp auto body panels. It is a constrained layer damping system, where the stiff aluminum foil face is connected to the damped member with a dissipative rubber film. The principle is good, but the facing layer has to provide some sort of match to what it is you are trying to damp. I believe a thicker aluminum layer would be needed for effective damping of MDF. One could apply Dynamat, then cement some sheet stock aluminum to the foil with polyurethane construction adhesive. This would be impossible to remove, so experimentation is called for before anyone actually does this to a speaker!
