sealed box dual 12's around 600 rms each. I'll be using a pair of kac x10d's for the time being til I can get better ones. What would you say is better MB Quart RWE-304 12" or IDQ12 v3's?

I really enjoyed the Mach 5 IXL 12" I had. It has very nice SQ.

right off the bat...Alpine type R's work well sealed...1 cube each, handle 500 rms easily, are around 200-240 each retail..and i've had 2 12's for 1.5 years now in the exact application as mentioned...love em! Otherwise, Eclipse work well in that application...but may be a bit pricey. Quarts I haven't heard (I expect that they should sound good given their reputation), but the ID are very good..though they tend to be pricey as well as hard to find.
