Bobby Gately

This page documents an earlier conflict involving Bobby Gately. For the separate, more recent situation with Ben and the Ruthless 10,000 amplifier, see the Ruthless 10,000 test & timeline page.

Overview

This is a detailed account of the misinformation and false claims spread by Bobby Gately regarding an amplifier test. It lays out a timeline of events, exposes contradictions in his statements, and provides direct evidence debunking his accusations.

Timeline of Events

  1. The Original Amplifier Test (March 6th, 2024)

    A third party conducted an amplifier swap test comparing two JP53s vs. two Ruthless 10Ks in the same vehicle, same electrical system, and same enclosure.

    Results: The Ruthless 10Ks were louder and produced more power.

    Amp Dyno Data Matches SPL Results:

    When doubled (for strapped amps), the Ruthless setup had ~5,800W more power than the JP setup, which aligned with the SPL test.

  2. Bobby’s First Public Comment (February 26th, 2024)

    Bobby commented on the original post, implying the test was manipulated and the amps were “turned down.” (See Comment)

    I publicly asked for clarification, but he ignored my request. Instead, Bobby went live on Facebook for the first time, claiming:

    • The test was invalid
    • The data was manipulated
    • I was compromising my integrity (Read Transcript)
  3. My First Public Response (March 9th, 2024)

    I made a post directly addressing Bobby, asking him to explain his accusations. (See Post)

    He ignored my request and refused to clarify anything. Instead, misinformation continued to spread, with people now accusing me of falsifying data.

  4. Private Conversations Before His Second Live Stream (March 10th, 2024)

    I privately messaged Bobby, asking what was manipulated in the test. (See Messages)

    He refused to provide specifics and insisted I “had to know” the data was wrong. I asked him to clarify publicly that I did not conduct the test, but he refused. False accusations against me continued to spread.

    The next morning, I called Bobby to clarify things, but he still refused to correct his statements.

  5. Bobby’s Second Live Stream & Escalation (March 11th, 2024)

    Bobby doubled down and escalated his accusations:

    • He claimed I was paid by Down4Sound to manipulate the results.
    • He falsely stated that the JP53 had over 30% THD, without any evidence.
    • He argued that the Ruthless 10Ks were not “tested correctly,” despite both setups being identical.

    These false claims directly led to people attacking my integrity online. (See Contradictions & Correction)

  6. The Fallout & Ongoing Contradictions (March 12th–14th, 2024)

    I continued receiving public accusations of fraud and dishonesty. (See Accusations)

    Bobby later walked back his claim that I was paid for testing, but never fully corrected it. He later claimed he never accused me of conducting the test, despite multiple public statements suggesting otherwise. (See Contradiction)

    He also repeatedly referenced child molesters (“chomos”) directly after mentioning me, without making it clear that he wasn’t referring to me. This led to further misinterpretation and reputational damage. Even after being confronted with evidence, he refused to take responsibility for his false accusations.

Contradictions & False Claims

Claim Reality
“The test was manipulated.” No evidence was provided. The dyno numbers confirm the SPL results.
“Drew did the testing.” I did not conduct the test. It was performed by a third party.
“Drew was paid by D4S to manipulate results.” No proof of payment exists, and Bobby later walked back this claim.
“The JP53 had extreme THD (30%+).” No evidence was provided. The amp performed within expected parameters.
“The Ruthless 10K wasn’t tested correctly.” The test conditions were identical for both amps, ensuring fairness.
“Drew was upset and ‘crying’ about the situation.” No evidence of this exists. Private messages and public posts show that I remained professional and direct, only asking for clarification.
“Drew harassed Bobby and forced him to respond.” The only direct message I sent Bobby was a request for clarification, which he ignored. He chose to go live multiple times instead of resolving the situation privately.
“Drew knew the data was false and defended it anyway.” I repeatedly asked for proof of manipulation, which Bobby never provided. The dyno results match the SPL results, supporting the validity of the test.
“Drew was associated with ‘chomos’ (child molesters).” Bobby repeatedly referenced child molesters immediately after discussing me, creating an implied connection that he never corrected.

Science Over Personal Attacks

Independent testing related to this amplifier platform has now produced performance data that does not match its published power ratings on more than one occasion. In each case, instead of addressing the numbers with repeatable counter-testing, clear methodology, or revised specifications, the response has largely focused on personal attacks, conspiracy claims, and attempts to discredit the people presenting the results.

Performance disagreements should be settled through methodology, instrumentation, and data — not harassment. The proper response to amplifier testing is better science, not intimidation or reputational damage campaigns. Data should be met with data.

Conclusion: What This Proves

Bobby Gately publicly made false accusations against me without evidence. His statements changed multiple times, contradicting himself. The amplifier test results were accurate, confirmed by independent dyno tests. His accusations damaged my reputation, leading to false allegations against me. Even when confronted, he refused to take accountability for his words.

Key takeaway: The evidence stands—misinformation does not change facts.

Final Statement

This situation was fueled by misinformation, baseless accusations, and a refusal to acknowledge clear evidence. The facts remain:

  • I did not conduct the test.
  • I was not paid to falsify results.
  • The test data was valid.
  • Bobby’s claims were misleading and inconsistent.
