Dynamat inside a sub box?

What effect would applying sound deadening material (Dynamat or similar) to the inside of a sealed sub enclosure have on sound quality?
I have a spare prefab box that I want to use temporarily. The previous owner was a bit enthusiastic with the drill and there are several holes that need to be filled. As a lazy solution I was thinking of sealing them up by applying scrap pieces of sound deadening on the inside. Bad idea?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to not be so lazy and use some silicone before resorting to the Dynamat.
But back to my original question, what effect on sound (if any) would Dynamat have when applied inside a sealed sub enclosure?

To restore worn screw holes in mdf use a little wood glue and toothpicks in the holes, snap off the picks flush when they bottom out. Use one or more picks depending on how much fill you need.
And although I've never done it, lining the inside of a prefab box with deadener sounds like a good thing to me.
