Yes, I now recall a company by the name of Phase Linear but that is about all I remember about them.
I, too, will try to do some research on this topic as now I've piqued my own curiousity about Carver's car audio foray.
Stay tuned (ouch!).
"The Aliante 12 is the second best subwoofer made by Phase Linear. Phase who? No I'm not talking about the Phase Linear brand that you can by at Circuit City or Best Buy. Although related they are two entirely different companies, but are owned and operated by Recoton International Holdings. This Phase Linear is a European division that had a vision of building high quality, high-end designs of speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers for the European market. They asked and were granted use of the venerable Phase Linear brand name with the intent of furthering the mark created by Bob Carver and others of the early Phase Linear brand of home audio devices from the 1970's into today's modern car audio industry."
