I rented a 2020 or 2021 I believe it was a lone star and it had the Alpine stereo system and it had tweeters on the pillars almost like where the doorhandles are and I have searched and searched not being able to find I’ve made a Reddit too.
The sad thing is last year I purchased a 2020 ram Laramie with the HK system because I thought that was the speaker system that was in it and I bought it site unseen and it had the tweeters in the dash and not up on the pillars. I really want the stereo system in the truck that’s on the pillars. I know this is a very specific request and very random, but please can anybody, lead me to which model RAM has the speakers up in the pillar, please

Alpine only has the 6X9 in front door and 3- 3.5 dash speakers for front? HK has the 2 speakers in front doors, plus dash speakers

This is HK door.

In the pillar or on the roof? Roof has small speakers that are the Active Noise Cancellation and not actual stereo speakers.

The had 2 tweeters on the pillars that were white I thought the 2020 with HK sure were the correct speaker layout but it’s not in the same location as the truck I rented it was couple years ago I thought it was standard but I didn’t test drive before I bought it it was delivered to my house

Thanks for responses but there seems to be a model out there that is more than likely a 2021 that had them up in the pillars like normally where the doorhandles are

Depends on model.

Ram 1500 Alpine has 6x9 in door, with tweeters in dash corners and center of dash. Most people unhook center to improve imaging.
Ram 1500 HK has 6x9 in door, tweeter in upper door panel, and mids in dash (corners and center).

There is no 1500 that I am aware of that has tweeters in sail panel. The Ram 2500 has tweeters in sails on the upper level stereo; maybe that's what you were driving?

I would never mount a tweeter in the upper door panel personally. Some vehicles have placed mids were with good success (BMW/Audi), but it drags the stage too low to have a tweet mounted here. It also pushes tweeter horribly off axis. In a car with a lower seating position it could work, but in a truck it's just not ideal. The Rams respond really well with mids in the dash corners. You get great corner loading and it pulls the front stage up to the glass. The sails are the best place for the tweeters. It keeps a wide soundstage, and allows on axis aiming. The tweet responds well in the dash locations as well, just a bit tougher to tune based on initial reflections.
